An unprecedented Lake Garda day trip from Verona combining a visit to Bardolino from Verona and the picturesque town of Garda to one of the most beautiful walking tours of Lake Garda: the ascent of the Rocca di Garda.\nThe departure from Verona is planned for approximately 9 am, by private transport and pick up at your hotel.\nThe first stage of our excursion to Lago di Garda is Garda, a charming town located roughly in the middle of the Olives Riviera, between Bardolino and Torri del Benaco. The town overlooks an attractive panoramic bay dominated by the Camaldolese monastery and the remains of the medieval castle from which, it is said, the Queen Adelaide fled to take refuge in Canossa, to marry the German king Otto I. On arrival, before starting trekking - Garda is about 45 minutes from Verona - the tour includes a short break for coffee and to admire this picturesque town, full of villas, parks, Gothic and Renaissance buildings.\nLake Garda trekking in the province of Verona is in very demand, thanks to the presence of numerous paths and routes through spectacular areas which offer visitors a perfect combination of nature and outdoor sports. Our day trip to Lake Garda from Verona offers one of these fascinating routes for trekking at Lake Garda: Garda and its fortress, an itinerary that winds through a setting of exceptional historical and natural beauty, surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive groves. The Garda lake trekking tour will reach the highest point of the assent at 294 metres, where you can enjoy an incomparable scenery throughout southern Lake Garda.\nThe climb to the Rocca from the village of Garda takes place in the cool air of the forest, while the descent to Bardolino goes through vineyards and olive groves and ends on the quiet lakefront. The path is not difficult: it is a hiking path accessible to all (mixed, on dirt track road and path), short and with moderate elevation gain. The length of the route is about half an hour (one hour total ascent and descent, between which there is a break) and the tour leader will evaluate with you (based on your age, attitude to walking and physical training and so forth.) if you are able to undertake the entire route on foot or if the vehicle at your disposal may be needed for a part of the excursion.\nIn addition to the beauty of the landscape, this particular path was chosen because it does not does require a significant physical effort: everyone can enjoy a beautiful walk and reach the top of the Rocca without problems, covering the path at their own pace and time! You will enjoy the view at the top and all your effort will be paid off! From the top of the Rocca di Garda you can enjoy a spectacular view, one of the most beautiful sceneries around to visit in Lake Garda from Verona: the town of Garda and Punta San Vigilio to the north, Bardolino and the south coast to the south, with the peninsula of Sirmione, the moraine hills, with your view sweeping across the Brescia coast in front of you.\nAfter the descent you can decide whether to make a short&amp;nbsp;Bardolino excursion on foot, by following the pleasant path along the lake, or in the car. Once in the centre, the tour includes lunch and visit to the old town.\nLunch, subject to availability, is planned at a local restaurant, which serves local traditional cuisine. We recommend the restaurant Loggia Rambaldi, a historic inn on the lakefront, or the Osteria Ai 2 nani, located within the town, which offers a more intimate setting. Both restaurants are famous for their excellent cuisine that blends ancient recipes based on fish from the lake with vegetables from the surrounding hills. All dressed with the famous locally produced olive oil and accompanied by a glass of Bardolino. Upon request, please indicate any preferences on the type of restaurant preferred, since in both restaurants reservations are recommended. If you have not indicated any preference, the choice will be at the discretion of the tour leader and / or dependent on the availability of the premises.\nDuring the lunch the guide will not be present, but you will meet again in the early afternoon for a brief visit to the centre of Bardolino. The resort reveals its ancient soul devoted to fishing from the structure of the town: the picturesque houses of Bardolino appear as fishbones, one after another, starting from the small beach along the lake, and the streets are perpendicular to the shoreline to make it easy to transport boats &amp;nbsp;to the front of the houses. Bardolino tourism is apparent in its numerous bars, ice cream parlours and souvenir shops, but it has not ruined the timeless atmosphere of this ancient fishing village, now considered one of the finest locations on Lake Garda.\nSome of the most remarkable buildings of Bardolino include St Zeno Fuori delle Mura. Its structure is very similar to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna, and the Church of St Severo, regarded as one the most important examples of the Carolingian period in Italy, built in Romanesque style of the 12th century.\nThe &amp;nbsp;Bardolino excursion concludes our fascinating day trip to Lake Garda from Verona.
